Confirm the current Notre Dame of Maryland University BSN requirements

The directory basis is CCNE evidence, verified July 21, 2026, for baccalaureate nursing education at Notre Dame of Maryland University. Treat curriculum pathway, field work, hours, affiliation rules, placement responsibility, and candidate eligibility as separate facts that require current school sources.

Start with the documents controlling the student's actual term. Confirm pathway, course purpose, dates, approved geography, setting type, candidate credentials, affiliation requirements, compliance items, and submission forms. Older catalogs or another school's process are not reliable substitutes.

Separate program-coordinated and student-proposed experiences

Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated through the nursing program. If that is the student's pathway, use Notre Dame of Maryland University's clinical office rather than assuming an outside search is needed. Only written current permission to propose a person or site creates a role for independent sourcing.

A confirmed RN-to-BSN or other post-licensure course can use an applied community, population, quality, education, leadership, or care-coordination experience. The objective determines the setting and mentor. Accreditation alone does not show that Notre Dame of Maryland University offers such a pathway or asks students to propose placements.

Possible community and systems settings include clinics, public-health programs, schools, employee health, home health, hospice, nonprofits, quality teams, care coordination, and population-health services. The proposed person may be an experienced RN or another qualified professional. Current course rules, not this list, determine what is eligible.

Confirm BSN hours instead of assuming a total

There is no universal BSN clinical or field-experience total across schools and pathways. Required hours vary by state, program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Do not use a number from another institution, an older handbook, or a different pathway as Notre Dame of Maryland University's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and placement office.

Read how BSN practice requirements vary, then verify the active course with Notre Dame of Maryland University. Planning should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, placement process, location, candidate role, setting, and forms.

Plan an approval-ready proposal in Maryland

The accreditation directory locates Notre Dame of Maryland University in Baltimore, Maryland, but a campus address does not establish where a student may complete an experience. Confirm state authorization and approved geography first. A proposed site must still fit the course, support the required work, provide an eligible person, and participate in program review.

Use the Maryland BSN field-experience overview to think through local setting categories and geography. It does not establish authorization or approval rules for Notre Dame of Maryland University; only the current program can do that.

A complete proposal connects the current course to a specific person and setting. Document credentials, role, experience, site, availability, supervision, and willingness to complete school paperwork. This preparation helps Notre Dame of Maryland University review the request but cannot replace its affiliation, compliance, authorization, or approval process.

Use a current-course readiness checklist

Confirm these items before outreach: the exact baccalaureate pathway and course; whether the program coordinates placement or permits a student proposal; the approved requirement and dates; eligible state and setting; candidate credentials; course objectives; conflicts; affiliation and compliance process; school and site forms; and submission deadline.

Independent BSN sourcing support for Notre Dame of Maryland University students

The BSN placement workflow separates requirement review, permission confirmation, candidate sourcing, documentation, and school approval. After the current course permits a proposal, request a match to start an independent search.

Nothing on this page is issued by Notre Dame of Maryland University. BSNPreceptor is an independent service, is not affiliated with or endorsed by the institution, and cannot approve the student's person, site, or paperwork. We also cannot guarantee that a match will be found or accepted.
